Looks neat, has it helped? Iv just sold my vibe black air 12 with my old car as I diddnt think it would help much in the cab, my gues was it would just rattle the boot lid and Id not really hear it.

But well done, my friend !!

Looks nice and tidy!!!!

Gotta agree though - plenty of chroming could be done in there winkeye

How does the sub sound??? I've never had a sub in such a small enclosure myself, but i'm just building a 1 cu ft box for a mate, in my spare time (yeah, right!).
I assume it sounds alright, or you wouldn't have done it!!

Think i'd put a panel in to hide the amps and box and just make the changer and sub flush on the front - would lose more space though i s'pose!!

Did you try the sub in different orientations before you fitted it rear firing??
Always worry about putting subs that way up, in case anything in the boot wrecks the cone!!
Gonna mount mine with the sub facing up, as there's no shelf in the touring winkeye

I'll have to have a little listen next time i see the cab!!
